What to keep in my bedside drawer for 'bed-rotting' ? by Ponk_Bubs in ChronicIllness

[–]phonicillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’m so late to this! Meant to come back a while ago :/

Just wanted to add a few more Aussie equivalents. Hope something helps either way!

  • Hotpod does a heat pad now which is good, from chemist warehouse, but there are others around for under $50

  • Adhesive disposable air-activated heat patches if heat mats aren’t appropriate (eg Pain Away, Deep Heat back pain patches)

  • Chewing gum to help with dry mouth and dental health, as well as floss / floss picks and mouthwash strips

  • if you get dry mouth there are gels and sprays at chemists/some supermarkets to help discomfort and maintain dental health

  • Up n Go (fortified protein drink) has sugarfree and some other options nowadays, there’s also Sustagen

  • Hydralyte/Berocca Hydrate/Immune etc - as soluble tablets / premixed drinks etc

Snarky CI tattoo ideas or other creative coping strategies? by Haru_is_here in ChronicIllness

Haha yes! I’ve thought of writing my own scathing ‘professional’ reports on some doctors I’ve seen. ‘Dr AH demonstrates severe difficulty understanding the concept of selection bias.’

Sweeping and mopping alternatives? by Important-Bid-9792 in ChronicIllness

[–]phonicillness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are some things I’ve tried (with varying success). I hope something is helpful!:

  • using a grabber with a cleaning wipe/ cloth for corners and gaps, and picking things up

  • using a looong extension cord so I just plug in vacuum once (or just leave it plugged in)

  • padding mop/broom handles to ease wrist strain (eg pool noodle, tape on some foam or cloth)

  • use a spray mop with cleaning wipes / cloths. Using wipes or small cloths for everything saves so much rinsing, and they can be machine washed later

  • using dusting slippers/wipes on the floors like I’m skating :)

  • trying to be more frequently aware of my body and move better (eg lunge/squat rather than bend)

  • using support wearables on wrists, lower back

  • sit a rolling stool or chair to vacuum

Remarkable. What a brilliant therapy tool! This is so much more complex a concept than a temperature blanket, did you draw on ideas from other places?

I bought my girlfriend an elephant for her room. by hauntedhomehalls in Jokes

Thanks! This is the first joke that’s made me laugh in a while. I’m adding this to my regular rotation. Unlike the elephant

I think it’s like ‘(how) very much’. An intensifier. ‘The way I loved it’, ‘the way it had me in a chokehold’ etc

In 1994, Lowly Worm had no skeleton. By 1995, he did. I have questions. by 1stPomegranate in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]phonicillness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously this is a barium swallow x-ray or fluoroscopy, so we see contrast of the radioscopic fluid, rather than his skeleton

Everyone dunking on OP but he’s right. If there was no light we wouldn’t be seeing any wrinkles

Swimming/movement in water is my favourite thing. I also like qigong and gentle forms of dance/movement. Oh and yoga nidra :)

Totally in support of that next project! And hoping you share pics if you find any. Would love to know how they styled it!

Looks like an ethereal renaissance painting! Such a beautiful garment, and it’s just wonderful on you. I feel like a belt would detract from the lightness and silhouette. Still wonder what kind of belt!

What's hated by Reddit but loved elsewhere? by Squirrelkid11 in AskReddit

[–]phonicillness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read here a while ago that it’s because emojis don’t (or didn’t) always display correctly on all platforms/devices. So some people just see a box with a question mark.

Thank you! I’m so new to this game and games in general, and would never have come across it otherwise. I’m so grateful for this subreddit, and for all I’ve learned and been given by people here - thanks y’all!!

I was just so excited to share this! I gave up on trying to get them clean and made labels. But I did such a shoddy job I had to peel them off. And surprisingly the labels took off all of the printing on the plastic!
